Starts this Thursday!

Dr. Kelley is speaking at the Tick-Borne Illness Global Summit for two different talks:

Lyme and The Pediatric Brain: How Vector-borne Infections Affect Our Children. Tick-borne infections don’t just affect the body. She’ll talk about how they can affect the developing brain, and what parents may want to know.

The Jarisch-Herxheimer Reaction: what it is, what it isn’t, and what to do about it. Ever felt worse before you felt better when starting treatment? There’s a name for that, and it’s one of the most misunderstood parts of the journey.

We are proud to share that our founder and medical director, Dr. Casey Kelley, will be speaking at the Tick-Borne Illness Global Summit this year.

One of her live talks is “Lyme and the Pediatric Brain: How Vector-Borne Infections Affect Our Children.”

When a child’s behavior, mood, or ability to focus suddenly changes, parents often hear “it’s just a phase.” Sometimes there’s more going on. Dr. Kelley will cover:
* How tick-borne infections can affect the developing brain and nervous system
* Symptoms that are easy to miss or mistake for something else, like anxiety, irritability, trouble at school, or sleep changes
* Why kids with complex symptoms do best with a whole-child approach
This talk is for parents, caregivers, and anyone who has felt like their child’s symptoms didn’t add up.
The summit is free and online, October 8–11. Register at thetickchicks.com (link in bio).

Ever start feeling worse right after starting treatment for Lyme or another tick-borne infection? There’s actually a name for that — and it’s not a sign something’s gone wrong.
It’s called a Jarisch-Herxheimer reaction, and it’s one of the most misunderstood parts of tick-borne illness treatment: a temporary flare of symptoms (think fatigue, achiness, chills) that some people experience as their body responds to treatment. Dr. Casey Kelley is breaking down what it actually is, what it isn’t, and what to do if it happens to you — live at the Tick-Borne Illness Global Summit.

What’s in Dr. Kelley’s daughter’s summer camp tick kit?!

As a doctor and a mom, tick prevention is non-negotiable before any outdoor trip — and summer camp is no exception! Here’s everything she’s putting in her suitcase:

✔️ Permethrin spray — treat her clothes and gear before she goes outside
✔️ Picaridin spray — goes on the skin, safe and effective
✔️ Ultrasonic tick repeller — clips right onto her shoes
✔️ Tick repellent stickers — fun and easy for kids to use on their own
✔️ Tick Twister — the right way to remove a tick if you find one
✔️ Tick mitt — makes tick checks so much faster

But remember, these tools can be used for any outdoor activities this spring and summer! Save this before summer camp season and send to your nature buddy 💚

Research shows that a significant number of Lyme patients are actually dealing with at least one other coinfection. Because symptoms like fever, headaches, and muscle aches overlap so much, these secondary infections are frequently missed!

Comprehensive testing is essential to find out exactly what is going on so you can finally get the right care. Swipe to learn what to look for and send this to someone who might need it! 💚

You’ve done all the things, you’ve prepped, you’ve planned, you’ve tried to avoid this, but you get bit by a tick — what do you do?!

First things first, don’t panic!

→ Remove the tick & clean your skin
→ Save the tick to send in for testing (if you can)
→ Monitor the site or the area for a rash and other symptoms
→ Reach out to a Lyme literate doctor
→ Treat based on your symptoms

If you don’t have someone in your area or only received one week of antibiotic treatment — reach out to us at Case Integrative Health for help! We treat acute tick bites and chronic Lyme disease in the Chicagoland area. 💚

Did you know a simple 15-minute CAT scan can reveal calcium buildup in your heart’s arteries?

A coronary calcium score is a powerful early warning tool — but it’s just the beginning. Calcium signals that plaque has been building up, and plaque means blockages. Left untreated, those blockages can restrict blood flow and even lead to a heart attack.

The good news? Plaques can actually shrink with the right treatment. Tackling elevated cholesterol is key — the less cholesterol circulating in your bloodstream, the less that ends up in your artery walls.

Knowledge is power when it comes to your heart health. Talk to your doctor about whether a coronary calcium score, or a CT angiogram for a deeper look, is right for you!
